Slack

Post project updates to Slack channels, get DMs for mentions, and create tasks with /jinkoup.

Connect your Slack workspace (admins)

  1. 1Open Settings and find the Slack card under Integrations.
  2. 2Click Connect Slack and approve JinkoUp in Slack.
  3. 3You'll see “Slack is connected”. The card now shows the Slack workspace's name.

One Slack workspace connects to one JinkoUp workspace. Admins can Disconnect at any time; projects then stop posting and /jinkoup stops working.

Post a project's updates to a channel

  1. 1Open the project and click the Slack button in its header.
  2. 2Search for a channel and pick it. JinkoUp posts a hello message there.
  3. 3To stop, choose Stop posting to Slack.

For a private channel, first add the JinkoUp app to that channel in Slack. Only the project owner or an admin can change the channel.

What gets posted

  • Posted: tasks created, completed or reopened, assigned, moved between stages, due date changes, new comments and attachments.
  • Not posted: renames, description edits, priority and custom field changes.
  • Each message has ✓ Mark complete and Open in JinkoUp buttons.

Personal DMs

When someone @mentions you or assigns you a task, JinkoUp's Slack app sends you a direct message, as long as your Slack email matches your JinkoUp email.

Create tasks from Slack

  • Type /jinkoup Fix the login bug. A New JinkoUp task form opens: choose the project (or My Work), an assignee and a due date, add a description, then Create task.
  • On any message, open ⋯ → Create JinkoUp task to turn it into a task with a link back to the message.
  • Use the New JinkoUp task shortcut from Slack's shortcuts menu.
  • /jinkoup help shows these options in Slack.

Slack users are matched to JinkoUp members by email. If your emails differ, Slack will say it couldn't find your JinkoUp account: ask an admin to invite your Slack email.
